Fighter was hanging out in the living room with Penny and my Dad (his Gong Gong). Penny suddenly breaks out in a glorious cry, the kind that is so loud it drives my Dad up the wall. I carry Penny trying to calm her down.
Fighter:
*points at Penny* Baby cry.
Gong Gong:
Fighter… ask baby Shuddup!
Fighter:

Gong Gong:

Me:

Gong Gong:
